INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Equipment
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this unit to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the
lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so
may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this unit.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of your Equipment
NOTE: Do not store or install the unit outdoors.
•
Units with BI in their suffix are designed to be built-in or via recessed installation. The rest of
the units listed in this manual are designed for freestanding use. All models are for indoor use
only.
•
Place the freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the
unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
•
For free-standing installation, allow at least 5 inches (127mm) of space between the back, top,
and sides of the unit. This allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser
for energy saving. Even for recessed or built-in installation (units with “BI” in the model number),
it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) of space on each side, and 2” (51mm) on the top and at the
rear. The air vent at the front of the unit must never be covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the unit near an oven, radiator, or other heating
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below
60°F (16°C). For best performance, do not install the unit behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances
cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
Electrical connection
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a
three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this equipment must be properly grounded.
